McKenzie Mitchell addresses a possible WWE return.
As WWE continues to navigate its structuring after forming TKO with UFC under Endeavor this year, another round of releases happened on December 1. Among them was WWE NXT backstage interviewer McKenzie Mitchell.
Mitchell recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet on Insight about a potential return down the line.
“Never say never. I know that people say that. And it kind of sounds cliche. But it’s true,” Mitchell said. “Like I didn’t get to have my goodbye in WWE. I didn’t get to choose to leave. And that’s where I was saying I think it’s, some people need to take a break, I didn’t get that opportunity to say like, ‘I’m ready to take a break.’ I was ready to keep on going and go to WrestleMania and do the Royal Rumble and all of those things. So it was really awesome to hear Shawn say those things and ‘never say never.'”
Ultimately, Mitchell would love to “finish the story” and return to check off some of her bucket list items like working WrestleMania.
“I’d love to get back to WWE and finish, I’m not going to use Cody Rhodes’ line here, I was gonna say, finish the story, not doing that,” Mitchell joked. “He wouldn’t care if I did. Anyways, I can say that I’ve known Cody and Brandi for so many years. But to get back in and continue to do interviews, but do it on a different stage. I think that’s a goal that I never got to check off.
“And I don’t know if I mentioned this, but somebody tagged me in a post. And I thought it was really, really nice and really beautiful. I always had this chemistry on camera with Wes Lee. And we would do the high fives. I’ve known Wes since we worked at Impact together. And the high five was just so natural, because that’s just who we are as people.
“So a lot of what you saw on camera was so many of these talent was genuinely the feeling like of course you turn it up a notch when you’re on camera. But somebody had tagged me in the fact that the last thing you see of me on WWE television is Wes and I giving a high five. And he and I say good luck. And he goes, ‘Alright, can you go, girl,’ and then he goes off-screen. So I think that’s very poetic. I believe in those types of things. And I, when somebody mentioned that, to me, I was like, ‘Holy cow.’ That’s cool. That’s really a nice moment to have as your last moment seen on WWE television.”
